I'm no longer a fan of using any front-end libraries at all en lieu of just using standard event listeners and web components, but in their defense, by the time that you're creating or updating that many elements, most developers are backing out of the framework anyway.

It's the primary reason virtual table libraries exist.

You can get away without using frontend frameworks for small and simple projects. However, for large and complex projects you will struggle. For example, try building Google Docs without a frontend library. You will struggle even if you have an army of developers at your disposal. In fact, with a larger team, a library/framework helps standardize things.
